DYING unnrR HE LASH.

= Time When FlogGinG Was n Common
Punishment for UnruIy Sailors.
Flogging through the fleet was COM
mon in 1900 and before. and even since.
This was part of a sentence passed by q
court martial. The launch or long boat
of a shin to which the offender belonEeL.
was pulled alongside of each ship il the
feet and the prisoner received q dozen
laahes from one of her boatswain5' mates
in the presence of her officers and crew.
Notwithstanding the presence of n sur
gcon 10 report the ability of n prisoner to
endure punishment, many have died I'M
der the lash. a single lash has been
known to kill a man, whereas others
ave endured six dozen and lived. Old
offenders who nave been frequently I'M
der the lash, and who have had nerve
enough TO rcpres5 their signs, say that
they suffer more than those who cry out
under every lash. A hardened drunlard
said that in resisting his feelings he had
deranged his vision to such an extent that
hc had ever afterward seen the skeleton
@, Il dead man near him, grinning some
times in his face. But he feared neither
man nor fend; he probably died insane
A young man of education and rather
delicate build, who was frequently flogCcd
for drunkenness, said that when under
the lash he felt as if liquid iron were
poured down the marrow OF his back
bone. Yet he would get drunk every
time he had a chance.
In the Gloucester, when shaking out q
reef of tho maintopsail. o point became
foul, in consequence Of which the sail
was torn. A man named Morris Murphy
was held responsible, and the captain
sv7ore n terrible oath that he would fog
him within an inch of his life. Though
Murphy was one Of the strongest men in
the ship and as brave as he was strong,
a mar who never turned his back upon
an enemy, yet the captains threat threw
him into a nervous fever, which ended
in death. Thrice he was supported to
tho grating, and each time the surgeon
said he was not fit TO endure punishment,
and before tho fourth 1ogging day came
round he had passed to his rest and his
body had been committed to the deep.
l was in the habit of writing his letters,
and when the ship arrived in England in
formed his mother of his death and
directed her how to obtain his wages.
OF course, the cause of his death was not
stated. His mother resided in Passage
Of Waterford, Ireland. In that same
ship some four or five men who had
slipped ashore without leave at Chatham
were fogged the day she was paid of.
There was a story current in the ship
that the captain, when a young man,
had hogged nearly every man in a
frisato's ship company. His barge's
crow bound themselves by oath to give
him a touch of the cat when paid of.
They waylaid him outside of Portsmouth
in company with his wife and daughter
in n carriage. And while some took care
of the %coachman and gagged the women,
the others tied him to n tree and logged
him almost to the point of death. lie

make n searching investigation into mod

brated scientists, appointed by the uni

say they gave the most careful personal
examination to all the evidence presented
to them, and that such evidence covered
tho whole range of so called spiritual
manifestations. They called in numer-
Gus mediums aud slate writer's

took part in numerous scances. As a re-
suit OF what they have seen and heard,
